Carl Stalling Project
The first volume in The Carl Stalling Project series is a revelation; more than just an essential part of a Warner Bros. staff that generated some of the finest and most inspired productions in the history of animation, Stalling was a visionary whose work deserves consideration among the finest American avant-garde music ever recorded. As these 15 ...

Built to Spill
Beneath the wacky guitar fooling and somewhat nasal vocals, Built to Spill write great love songs, whether its bouncy pop or fragile melodies. Strings are used to good effect on three songs, and vocal harmonies make this disc an all-around winner. John Bush, All Music Guide

by
Van Morrison
While less thematically and sonically cohesive than Van Morrison's prior albums, Saint Dominic's Preview nonetheless hangs together on the strength of its songs, an intriguingly diverse collection which draws together the disparate threads of the singer's recent work into one sterling package. The opener, "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When ...

by
Van Morrison
While Van Morrison is, to be kind, an erratic and temperamental live performer, he's in stellar form throughout the double album It's Too Late to Stop Now, a superb concert set that neatly summarizes his career from his days with Them (represented by scorching renditions of "Gloria" and "Here Comes the Night") through 1973's Hard Nose the Highway ...

Original Soundtrack
Four years after his eponymous The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy gets even more hilarious on the sequel The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. The original soundtrack was brief enough to keep the fun around, especially with tracks from Warren G. and Montell Jordan, but the second installment gets raunchy. Aside from the sweet upbeat R&B track from ...

by
Liquid Soul
On its largely instrumental and mostly live debut album, Liquid Soul serves up precise horn charts and tight dance grooves at the junction where early-'70s old-school funk à la the J.B.'s meets new-school mix culture. And jazz, too, as strong versions of John Coltrane's "Equinox," Wayne Shorter's "Footprints," and Miles Davis' "Freddie the ...

Bootsy's Rubber Band
Bootsy Collins' debut solo album, Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band, was an extremely tough act to follow, but thankfully, there are no signs of a sophomore slump (either creatively or commercially) on his second album, Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! Most P-funk addicts consider this 1977 LP essential listening, and it isn't hard to see why ...

B Rich is a postmodern party rapper with the technique to match Eightball and the good-time vibes of Nelly, but also a laser-sharp focus on the travails of the rap game to match A Tribe Called Quest at its best. From the sound of tracks like "Showtime" and "Eighty (All I Need)," his performance skills rank among the best in hip-hop, and the ...

Paul Jackson, Jr.
One of the biggest complaints about contemporary jazz is that it's too commercially minded to be truly unique and creative. R&B guitarist Paul Jackson, Jr. has figured out a way to combine the two in fresh ways which offer treats for the pop market as well as true jazz buffs. A River in the Desert has those easily accessible, Najee-esque cool funk ...

Eight CDs and over 240 songs is overkill, except that there's a lot worth hearing here. Disc One opens in 1954 with Jim Ed and Maxine Brown's debut recordings for the Fabor label, including "Looking Back to See," which was successful enough to get them a touring slot with a young Elvis Presley. The sound, while primitive in comparison to their ...

Though in many ways Appearance and the Park is merely a continuation and slight development of earlier Kreidler motifs and approaches, there are also enough tweaks and explorations here and there on the overall approach which help make the album more than just a pleasant listen.

The lines between punk-pop and emo bands continues to get very blurry, and bands like New York City's the Smashup couldn't care less. On the quartet's full-length debut, 2005's Being and Becoming, singsongy choruses alternate with screamed vocal bits and guitar riffs custom-made for a hot afternoon at the Warped Tour.

The hip-hop equivalent to the indie rock mainstay of the self-pressed demo CD, the mixtape is the prime way to introduce a new rapper to an audience. Once a strictly underground phenomenon, the mixtape has become such a key part of building P.R. in hip-hop that there's getting to be almost no demarcation between a mixtape and a proper album.
